For all those interested, this is once again another saga of the boost leak. ANyway, I noticed a few things this weekend that got me thinking. Number one my boost gauge does not sit at 0 when off, sits back a little. Now with compressor to jsut wastgate(vac line) I get 3psi but it holds, with compressor(vac line) to xs mbc to wastegate, I get 5 psi.NOw the 5 psi does not feel any stronger than the 3. So could this just be pressure drop coupled with the fact that the autometer boost gauge is not deadly accurate or do I yet again have another boost leak.

BTW 12 full turns on the xs mbc to open it up.
